The top 10 sporting calenders

At least the 2006 version had her wearing tennis kit on the cover — appropriate, somehow, since she actually made headlines this past year for winning tennis tournaments. The world No 2 has three calendars for 2007: one, for Sports Illustrated, sees her wearing a bikini while posing on a beach, where, mentally at least, she had spent much of her tennis career before deciding that she did not, after all, want to be remembered simply for having the longest legs in the sport and being a one-time Wimbledon champion. A second calendar finds her wearing a black dress, suspiciously similar to that sported by golfer Natalie Gulbis. Finally, on the cover of the third, the mind is left to boggle as she seems to have fallen over near a tennis net, whilst wearing a skirt so short that she will surely catch her death of cold. Bless.
